SHE SAID YES ! ! ! SATURDAY, APRIL 28

What a crazy week! I forgot Sophie’s birthday. I got a new job. Oh, and I almost didn’t ask Sophie to
marry me!

I bought a ring for Sophie on Saturday morning - I wanted to ask her to marry me that night. So I invited her over, cooked a special dinner, and made her favorite dessert. I felt nervous, but when she arrived, she said she had a cold and felt tired. Not the right mood for “Marry me.” She went straight home after dinner. She didn’t even eat my chocolate cake!

I had an important interview on Wednesday - I didn’t get Sophie’s cold, thank goodness - and I got the
job! When I texted Sophie the good news, she texted back, “Let’s have dinner on Friday to celebrate!”
Perfect, right? Wrong. We went to our favorite restaurant. Before the server showed us to our table, Sophie saw some friends, and we all ate together. I didn’t want to ask her in front of all our friends.
After we left the restaurant, Sophie borrowed my jacket. (Oh, no! The ring!) She put her hands in the
pockets and found the box!

“Oh, you remembered my birthday!” she said. (Oh, no! Her birthday!) Then she opened the box.
Thinking fast, I dropped to one knee. “Happy birthday, Sophie! Will you marry me?”

4. A funny thing happened …

Our community: This week 一 funny stories from our readers

How embarrassing!
By Sarah Morgan

A funny thing happened to me yesterday after work. I was really hungry and I didn’t feel like making dinner, so I went to a fast food place near my office building. I got a cheeseburger, some fries, and a soda. The restaurant was really crowded, so I had to share a table. I sat down with my tray across from a young
guy. I said,“Hi. Is this seat free?” He nodded and smiled, but he didn’t say anything. He seemed pretty nice.

Anyway, I got out a magazine and started eating my burger. It was a really interesting article and I couldn’t stop reading. But then I saw the guy take one of my fries! I couldn’t believe it, but I was too embarrassed to say anything. Then he took another one, and I still didn’t say anything!

Then I thought, “Those are my fries.” So I took a handful and ate them. The guy looked at me in a funny way, but he didn’t say anything. Then he did it again and ate another one of my fries! It was really strange.

Finally, a few minutes later, he got up, took his tray, and left. That’s when I realized the fries were on his
tray! And my fries? They were under my magazine. How embarrassing! I ran out into the street. There was the guy.

Would you like to visit a really cool restaurant? Then try this place. Everything is made of ice, from the tables and chairs to the pictures on the walls. When you order a soda, it comes in an ice glass. and
your meal is served on an ice plate. Luckily, if you get too cold, you can ask for a warm blanket and some hot chocolate. Be sure to try some ice cream, too. It never melts!

The Hajime Robot Restaurant, Bangkok
Here’s something really different - a restaurant with robots. Choose your food from a touchscreen computer menu, and a few minutes later, a smiling robot brings it to you. You can also barbecue food at your table or order other delicious Asian dishes from the menu. Try a green tea smoothie and then sit back and enjoy the entertainment - every hour the robots dance to music! It’s a fun and lively atmosphere, and the service is excellent!
